Speaking of which...
A Contagion strikes the Chronicles of Darkness...
The world is ill. You have everything to lose through its sickness. Loss. Change. Chaos. Your own blood will rebel against you. Your own herd. Your own loved ones. Do not believe that just because you’ve had a hundred years on this Earth you’ll be exempt. Just because you were ignorant of it until now, does not make you immune. Your waking to the reality of this world — of the great machine in its heart, and the sickness in its veins — is just the first step. You must find others like you and me and make them swear to drive back this Contagion.
This world doesn’t have long left. You may be a monster, but perhaps with other monsters, you can drive back the destruction of everything.
The Contagion Chronicle includes:
• The first Chronicles of Darkness book to provide guidance on playing creatures of all kinds in a shared story.
• Systems and powers enabling teams of vampires, werewolves, mages, Prometheans, changelings, Sin-Eaters, hunters, mummies, Beasts, demons, and Deviants all in the same group, encouraging you to explore all permutations of crossover.
• A new mythos — the terrifying Contagion — acting as a catalyst for unifying disparate monsters into allied groups known as the Sworn and the False.
• Over ten settings from diverse locations all around the globe, each wracked with its own Contagion, and all waiting to be explored by the Sworn and the False.

January 2019 Status Update

Hello Kickstarter Coterie,
It's James, your point person for this kickstarter project.
Welcome to the first of our monthly updates for 2019! We're still in the quiet period just after the holidays, so this will be more of a "situation normal, continue forward" post.
One quick piece of news to share, though - announced at the Midwinter Gaming Convention in Milwaukee a week ago, Onyx Path has revealed their next project for Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition: Cults of the Blood Gods. I don't know too many details at this point, but it's being developed by Matthew Dawkins and has been described as "a book detailing the Hecata including Clan Giovanni, the various religions that have sprung out of vampire culture like the Church of Caine, and much more! "
Very happy to hear about more V5 projects coming from Matthew and team; I'm sure the success of Chicago by Night and your support were a big boost to getting this book on the schedule.

They Came From Beneath The Sea! is a new tabletop RPG from Onyx Path, encompassing the wonder, horror, thrills, and hilarity of 1950s science fiction. This game evokes all that is great in the B-movies of decades ago, and provides a dynamic, fun experience at the table.
The players, as humans, live in a world under increasing attack. The attackers? Aliens from beneath the sea, obviously!
Adventures can range from the one-shot defense of small coastal town, to the lengthier liberation of a cruise ship invested with gill-kin, all the way to a campaign in which characters seize an alien submarine and ride it all the way down to the sea bed to take the fight to the invaders.
Put down your malt shakes, turn on the jukebox, and prepare your harpoons! You don’t want to be caught unawares when it’s revealed that They Came From Beneath The Sea!
While it feels like a tongue-in-cheek rpg, the themes and horror elements of the game can be dialed to different levels to present something a little more horrific and scary. Chicago By Night's developer, Matthew Dawkins, is running an Actual Play with the folks at Red Moon Roleplaying. Check out the first episode in their Terror at Make-Out Point game to see how the system works:
